how do you check the datatype in the textbox? for example, i want my textbox to accept numberic input(mainly interger or double or float) only.. i need some way to check the validity of the input.. is there a function in vb that does it?

when i work with multiple forms, where do i specify which form to load first? since i only work with one form at a time, what i did was using form.hide to hide the forms that i don't need.. is this the right way to do things in vb? also, vb generally load the 1st form and hide the rest, is there a way to make vb load the other forms first(maybe the 2nd form first or the 3rd form first before instead of the 1st form) other than the 1st one?

is there a return character string in vb that's similar to "\n" in c/c++/java?
